What's all the buzz about?

I just read a fabulous article by Jeremiah Owyang: Web Strategy Matrix: Google Buzz vs Facebook vs MySpace vs Twitter (Feb 2010), and as I was trying to leave a comment I was caught by an infinite loop of a rotating validation process, more or less like the mac multicolor circle that killed my imac and drove me crazy as I kept following the pace of the hypnotic spell.

So I figured if I can't cope with commenting on others peoples blogs just jet due to technical difficulties, I'll post the comment here: 

For some reason the buzz hasn't kicked in Europe, at least not in Spain, or at least not in my account. I'm not really sure why wave didn't kick in, and won't it happen again now? I think if it integrates nicely with the way people use gmail it might get that spark needed to create the emergence to lift off.

Certainly, it's a good benchmark to see how the big ones try to get break through with new services, as I think there will be more contenders with different angles providing plain old good platforms that make some part of our lives easier or better.

At the end, the variable is always time and what helps you manage it better to achieve your goals, and hopefully, simplify the way we can move faster towards achieving collective social emergence in a more efficient way than wa are able today.

Thanks for the great analysis and strategic insight!

So there, that was me trying to be social and reaching out to conversations that are out there at the crest of the wave (not the googlewave seems to me). I'll try to set our an expedition to reach out one by one, pay a visit to those adding value to the debate, and present myself humbly into the scenario, the way my parents taught me to introduce myself to guests and speak my mind with freedom and respect.

Today I followed a whole bunch of these people I intend to keep track of on my twitter account, and I was very excited to find out that from that action I received a whole bunch of people that now follow me, including the man Guy Kawasaki, who's book The art of start I've been carrying in my bag ever since I started to think in an entrepreneurial state of mind.

It happened all over again, the processing eternal loop as I was trying to embeded this video from the man. It is actually a nightmare that has been haunting me down along with the photography overload. But I am on my way to fix it. That's all the buzz I have for now.

 

It's not about me, it's about you

"You know what, I think that I win when you win" Obama said in a speech when referring to the difficulties of the health care reform. It's the basic principle of looking for the Pareto alternative, the one that will take you and the other to a win-win position, better off than the actual one.

Wouldn't it be easier if that was the deal with all politicians, rather than constantly trying to divide people into two different poles? Is it really impossible to look for a common ground? This guy works as much as one would expect from a president.... it would be interesting to see what other fellow pressidents/current or past, have done/did in a single year.  

Effort, work and common sense, it's all you need from a leader. I can only thing of one person that has demostrated more in one year, a bigger leader, capable of igniting what it takes to perform at the highest level ever seen in history: Josep Guardiola, FC Barcelona's coach. It's no exageration when even top rival Real Madrid fans, gurus from the management area use him as an example of what great leaders must do to achieve good results in any organization. Even polititians in Catalunya wish they had what he has.

In anycase, both Barack Obama and Josep Guardiola give example of how passions drives a man's work to reach unlimited results. A clear case of emmergence in a collective complex system, where what matters is the team result. It's not about me, it's about you!
